Private Key

Akin to a cryptocurrency wallet password

A public key is used to send funds out of a wallet and pay for goods and services. If you hold private key information you can spend cryptocurrency held within a wallet. You should never give your private key info to anyone for any reason.

Generated like lottery ticket numbers, randomly, don't share these with anyone..

“I knew that the crypto advertisement was a scam because it was asking for my private key information. Good thing I know better!”
